MANHATTAN — The George Washington Bridge reopened Monday morning after an overnight pile-up stalled traffic for nearly four hours, WCBS-TV reported.

Inbound lanes were shutdown around 3:15 a.m. following a crash which involved one car and seven tractor-trailers, according to WCBS-TV.

One person suffered minor injuries and the lanes weren't reopened until 7:07 a.m., when workers finished cleaning up the fuel and antifreeze that had spilled onto the roadway.

Commuters should expect residual delays to continue throughout the morning.
